Loving

I'm pregnant.

Good.

That's real good.

There it goes.

Whoo! Whoo!

Yes. Timing's still off 'bout two degrees.

Looked fine to me. What you think?

I think we won.

That's fine right there. Now, come on. Come on, now. Come on.

Now that's a fast car you fellas got.

And it's mighty fine of you to let us boys race with y'all.

Whoo!

Get your hands out there, come on.

Come on, garnet, come on.

Get ready to dance with old Virgil. Come on.

Damn, Richard. Slow down.

All right now. Where you going?

What you think? Do you like it?

Like what?

This spot. Right here.

This field?

Yeah.

This field not a half a mile from my house I've been knowing all my life?

Yeah, yeah.

Yes. I like it.

I'm gonna put the kitchen back. Right back here.

Richard, stop this!

I don't know what you're saying.

I bought it.

This whole acre.

I'm gonna build you a house.

Right here.

Our house.

Mildred?

Yes?

Would you marry me?

Garnet, come.

He said he'd bought the whole acre for me.

And then he asked me to marry him.

No he didn't! Yes.

Right out in the field? Uh-huh.

Oh, lord, that man might be crazy.

Well, when you gonna do it?

He didn't say.

Soon, though.

Before the baby comes.

He gonna take my sister from me?

No.

We'll be right down the road.

Everything looks fine.

Thank you, miss Lola. We'll see you soon. We'll be here.

Hey, now.

Hey, momma. They're out back.

How we doing? Hmm.

Get that board and get up under there. See if you can get that collector loose.

So I'm gonna take Mildred up to D.C. to get married.

So, you sure about that?

Yeah.

And you need a witness?

No.

I'm gonna ask her dad to come up there with us.

Rich is gonna take Mildred up to D.C. to get married.

String bean?

Don't make no damn sense. Now, you'd be fine living in the house.

No wife, just fine. You don't need no wife.

Well, now, she gonna be your girl. Why people wanna get married?

Don't make no sense, man.

You think they'll see us today?

Yeah. I called up there.

Seem like a long drive to me.

Thanks for coming, Jake.

Daddy, what's the city like?

It's fine.

Marriage is an institution of the highest importance.

And it's made honorable by faithful couples

who are committed to each other for life.

Do you have the ring?

By the power vested in me by the district of Columbia,

I now pronounce you husband and wife.

I may not forgive him.

Come on, now.

You lucky if I forgive you.

No reason to go all the way up there for this and not take us.

We took daddy.

Like that means a thing.

Richard said there would be less red tape in Washington. That's all.

You can stop looking at it, string bean, you know it's purdy.

I'm turning in.

What you think 'bout a bedroom in the back?

I'll like it however you make it.

I'll be in there soon.

Mmm-hmm.

I thought something like this.

Hey, momma.

Sheriff's deputy came by looking for you.

What did he want?

Wanted to find you.

Hmm.

Did you tell him where I was?

I didn't have nothing to tell him.

Like me raising a barn, but, you know...

Thinking the kind of fuel in that car, that was different.

That car was great. Applesauce good.

But, you know...

What you like, rich, Ford or Chevy?

Eh, don't make much difference.

But which one faster?

That depend on who built it.

That's what I said.

How much money you win with that car?

Boy, why you're asking him about his money?

He doesn't have to answer me.

How many races you won, rich?

Richard; Oh.

Uh...

A lot.

You need my hand, you need my hand, too? Count on this one.

I didn't think he was gonna stop.

I wanna know, you know?

Ask that question...

In here!

What you doing in that bed, boy?

Richard? What're you doing in bed with that woman?

I'm his wife.

That's no good here.

Get your pants on, boy.

You get out of that bed.

Get out of that bed!

All right.

Come on.

All right.

She goes in there.

It's all right.

Come on! It's okay.

It's okay.

Richard loving?

Yeah.

You made bail.

Bean?

Bean?

Richard?

Go on down.

What about her'? Just you.

What do you mean? Wait, wait. Wait!

Don't pull me again.

Come on now. That's not right.

Bean.

Richard?

It ain't right now! Come on!

It ain't right!

Sign at the bottom.

What about my wife?

You'll have to talk to the judge about that on Monday.

Monday?

That's good.

Okay. Just rest. Just rest.

Richard!

Richard! Yeah?

Bring me that fresh water and take this one out.

Okay.

Bear down.

Bear down.

Here, mom. Leave that down.

Good. Good.

Wait. Wait.

What you gonna do?

How did they know to come get us?

Somebody talked.

Hey!

Hey!

We told you to come back on Monday and talk to the judge.

I ain't gonna let her stay there till Monday.

It's not right. Talk to the judge.

You're not allowed to bail her out.

I'll get a lawyer. You can.

Hey, boy.

Come on.

Sit down.

You back here trying to bail her out?

You know they aren't gonna let her out to you?

You best send some of her people up here to get her,

because they won't let her out to you.

But, she's pregnant. Shut your mouth about that.

I'll throw your ass back in there for that. You know better.

It's just not...

What's that?

You do know better, don't you?

Nah, maybe you don't.

Your daddy worked for a nigger, didn't he?

Running timber?

I'm sorry for you.

No, I really am.

All you over there in central point don't know up from down.

All mixed up.

Part Cherokee,

Rappahannock,

part niggra, part white.

Blood don't know what it wants to be.

You just got born in the wrong place, is all.

I see you got to thinking it was fine.
